Order soon to make holiday deadlines
Want to show your friends and family what a cool and innovative gift-giver you are? Boycott hyper-consumerism and instead give a gift of compassion, one that lasts all year and allows a farm animal in need to live his or her life in peace and comfort...
 ...with the FABULOUS gift of an ANIMAL SPONSORSHIP the lucky (and now adoring) recipient of your uber-goodness will receive a beautiful, personalized photo card of the animal who you select (or we can select for you), including a description of that animal's rescue story and personality, plus an optional personalized note from you! The recipient also gets full membership to the farm and a special privileges to visit their animal any day and any time of year.
Not giving any gifts? Then make a New Year's resolution and treat YOURSELF and an animal in need to a Gift Sponsorship! You deserve it -- and so does a very deserving critter.

PENNY WISE, POUND FOOLISH?
Livestock Gift Charities Do Not Help Poor Nations
 As the holiday season ramps up and the year comes to a close, many of us are besieged with pamphlets and emails from organizations that provide farm animals to people in impoverished areas, the idea being to bring “income and nutrition” to these communities. Many well-intentioned people are enticed by the celebrity endorsements and pictures of happy farm animals with big red bows around their necks.
While this might sound good on paper, the water and land needs of livestock in areas that are often short on both quickly outweigh the benefits -- instead it increases human dependence on an unsustainable food-system that depletes the environment and does not fulfill all of a community’s real nutritional or long-term survival needs. >> READ MORE |

Believe it or not, animal products are sometimes used in the post-fermentation "fining" process in winemaking. Fortunately, there are excellent wines out there that are animal-free, and we're very sweet on the tasty wines from K Vintners & their sibling company Charles Smith Wineries in Walla Walla, Washington. We say, "Yumma Yumma!"
 Not only were they the proud Wine Sponsor of ThanksLiving 2008 --featuring the 2006 Holy Cow Merlot and Holy Cow Chardonnay -- but they're extending a 10% Discount to our supporters until Jan 31st!
Please visit them at Charles Smith Wines or K Vintners and use the promotional code: wdstkfarm (all lower case) at check out for the special sanctuary supporter discount.

For the third year in a row our sold-out ThanksLiving banquet was a smashing success. Over 250 people chowed down on a world-class feast in a giant tent at the farm. But don't take our word for it...
